From the moment of arrival, the quality of service was apparent. The quiet, efficient reception, even though we were early, helped to ease the stress of travel. We temporarily left our luggage in the reception store, and the next time we saw it, it was in our room! Our room was airy, clean and comfortable. It was maintained so well throughout our stay by cheerful yet inobtrusive staff. The restaurant served quality meals, particularly dinner, which was so very well presented. Every member of staff we met, smiled and said 'hello'. They all gave the impression of being there to help. We are definitely going again!

Stayed for 4 nights on business. Room was small but adequate and the decor was...colorful. Bed was excellent, and with a bad back, I tend to remember bad ones! Breakfast lovely, with very attentive but unobtrusive staff. Probably only reason I wouldn't award 5, is the lack of space to work in the room. Small desk and just a stool to sit on at correct height. Ate in the Leopard restaurant one evening and it was very good, look for the fish specials.

Just returned from an all too brief stay whilst on business locally. It’s been over a year since I last stayed but was a very welcome return. The hotel is high quality in every respect but what sets it aside from other establishments is the staff. Nothing is ever too much trouble, they are always attentive but never intrusive. Olga who manages the team in the restaurant is exceptional, a consummate professional who goes out of her way to ensure you have a perfect dining experience, I’ve never been anything but delighted with the food it’s always fresh, tasty, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented . I would agree with another reviewer the standard rooms are not vast but they are spotlessly clean, very well appointed with high quality fixtures and fittings, if you need acres of space book a superior room or suite. I look forward to my next visit whenever that may be.

From arrival at the hotel to departure, we could not fault the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff. We had booked the wine tasting package which was hosted by Orlando and he introduced us to some wonderful red wines. He made the experience fun and we would recommend it to anyone. We were asked beforehand what type of wines we would like to sample. The quality of the food, cooking and presentation was excellent and we could not fault either this or the service. Thank you to Olga and all of the team! Please stay here if you can. We think you will not be disappointed!

After having returned to Germany safe and sound it is essential for me to say thank you again for a wonderful holiday. This time I got a "blue room" and I really loved it. The view was nice and enough space for all the stuff which I always need for a three weeks stay. The food was excellent and the service not only in the Restaurant, where Olga, Carina, Bianca and Orlando are taking a tantastic care for everybody, but also in all other parts of the hotel was awesome. As usual I was lucky with the weather and there is no better place for an afternoon coffee as on the terrace of the DOR. Thanks a lot and I definitely look forward to see everybody again next year.

We had an excellent stay here at Easter 2016. The hotel was beautifully decorated, all the staff we had dealings with at reception, at breakfast and in the bar were all very friendly and professional and in particular Aaron, our Easter Bunny went beyond the call of duty to help us, when our ferry was cancelled and we had to book a flight and have a very early breakfast, which arrived in our room promptly and with a big smile, even at 6.00am! We also had some dealings with Ben on reception, who was also very helpful and friendly.
Our room (409) was sumptuous and far exceeded our expectations. The selection at breakfast was the best I had ever seen just couldn't decide between all the yummy food on offer.
All in all a wonderful stay and will be looking at other hotels in the chain and hope they are up to the same standards.

This was a superb hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. From the friendly greeting from Lorna on reception to all the wait staff and indeed anyone we met in the hotel. The training of the wait staff in the breakfast room was excellent and we felt like an honoured guest. It was my birthday whilst visiting and the hotel had arranged an 'birthday plate' of fruits, chocolate dipped strawberries etc but what was more, a birthday card signed by all the staff. The hotel is superbly appointed and great for a short walk downhill to the town - you may want to get a taxi back! Thoroughly recommend it,

This hotel is a beautiful building but its the staff that really make it special. Every one was not only well trained but friendly and helpful too. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was delicious. I have to recommend the cocktails - really special, and I know my cocktails!

Do you need a short break for a few days with a free night thrown in? Highly recommend a deal to Guernsey for a quick unwind and relaxing few days. Only surprise was its old tradition of being closed on a sunday so if you want a few souvenirs to take home this is not the day to shop.
We stayed in the Duke of Richmond Hotel and were thoroughly spoiled. It is set near the back of St Peter Port so does require a bit of leg work to get to from the centre up a few steep roads. There is a route through the well attended Candie gardens which offers plenty of seats to rest and admire the views and flower beds
Travelled with car from Poole on the Condor ferry and couldn't fault it. Arrived early there and back
The island offers great walks, beaches and coves wherever you go
Took a trip to Hern on a short ferry ride which offered more lovely walks and a fabulous beach on the far side
All in all a good place to be for a quick unwind and recharge
